Is your writing a hobby or a profession? The answer to that question changes everything.Many authors claim to be professionals but act like hobbyists. They write what they want instead of what readers will pay for. They try to fit a finished book into a genre instead of studying the genre first. They publish without a marketing plan or budget and are shocked by low sales and few reviews.They expect professional results from a hobbyist approach.If that sounds familiar, there's good news. You can choose the professional path.In this week's episode, you'll hear from author and podcaster Joanna Penn, who hosts the longest-running indie publishing podcast.You'll discover:How to build a sustainable author career in an era of AIWhich marketing activities you should choose and which to ignoreBusiness principles that apply to your writing careerHow to use AI to do the business tasks you dislike so you have more time for creativity and storytellingTo learn how to build a sustainable author business in an era of rapid change, listen in or read the blog version.Support the show

Text The Late Bloomer Actor a Question or Comment.In this episode, we explore the unique dynamics of starting young versus later in life as an actor. With insights from students at Flinders University, namely return guest Connor Clark (my son) and fellow class-mates Sienna Druce and Jakub Hapugoda, the conversation reveals that regardless of age, the core fears, joys, and learning curves are remarkably similar. Understanding these parallels can empower both early starters and late bloomers to embrace their distinct journeys with confidence.This episode underscores that the secret isn't when you start, but how you approach the craft—whether with curiosity, resilience, or joy. Remember, in acting as in life, there truly is no right age—only the courage to begin. Keep blooming, wherever you are on your journey. Key topics:The importance of experimentation and safe failure early in the acting careerHow experience, perspective, and life lessons shape acting maturityThe role of discipline, resilience, and fun in training and professional workThe benefits and challenges of starting young, including unlearning habitsHow older actors sometimes overthink, while younger actors retain playfulnessPractical advice for managing expectations, building a toolbox, and continuous learningThe mindset shifts necessary to thrive at any stage of acting Support the showPlease consider supporting the show by becoming a paid subscriber (you can cancel at any time) by clicking the 'Support' button in your player and you will have the opportunity to be a part of the live recordings prior to release.And please Rate the show on IMDB.This episode was recorded on RiversideFM - click the link to join and record.

There's been a pause on Soul Sync — and in this episode, I explain why.After one of the hardest years of my life, I felt called to slow down, reflect, and really question what manifesting actually means. Not the surface-level “wish and hope” version — but the deeper truth about alignment, feeling, belief, and action.In this episode, I share my personal journey with manifesting: from leaving school with very little, to manifesting jobs, opportunities, and a multi-million-pound business — and also the moments where manifesting didn't work, and why.This marks the beginning of a new Soul Sync manifesting series, where I'll be manifesting with you — openly, honestly, and in real time — across love, career, money, and purpose.This isn't about perfection. It's about awareness, alignment, and learning to feel your way into the life you want.

In this episode, Kathy sits down with Vinayasri Nidadavolu, a specialist engineer in offshore wind energy at Siemens Energy. Vinaya's story spans continents, megawatts, and life stages — from earning a rare degree in wind engineering to climbing offshore turbines hundreds of kilometers out at sea, and now navigating her career as a new mother.Vinaya takes us inside the fascinating world of offshore wind turbines — explaining how today's turbines have grown from 2–3 megawatts to an astonishing 14–15 megawatts, and what it actually looks like to work on machines that can produce enough energy for two households with a single blade rotation.We talk about what it really takes to work offshore: the extensive safety and survival training, life aboard service vessels for weeks at a time, and what it feels like to climb, ride lifts, and work inside turbines that are now larger than many apartments. Vinaya shares vivid details about the physical, mental, and emotional demands of the job — and why she still considers it the best career decision she's ever made.The conversation also explores Vinaya's path into engineering, beginning with childhood curiosity and fixing broken appliances, through being the only woman in her mechanical engineering class, to choosing sustainability and renewable energy as her long-term focus. Her story is a powerful reminder that representation matters — and that girls belong everywhere curiosity leads them.As a new mom, Vinaya reflects on balancing motherhood with a demanding technical career, why she chose not to “compromise herself” professionally, and how leading by example matters more than ever. Her reflections on identity, resilience, and modeling possibility for the next generation are honest, thoughtful, and deeply relatable.In the Ask the (Not) Expert segment, Vinaya shares practical, no-nonsense advice on how to ask for a raise — especially for women — emphasizing documentation, advocacy, and the importance of asking more than once.We wrap up with rapid-fire questions that touch on self-care (never underestimate a single cup of coffee), courage, and why Vinaya believes her own life story may one day become her favorite STEM “book.”This is a wide-ranging, inspiring conversation about engineering at scale, renewable energy, confidence, and choosing not to shrink — even when life changes.Topics We Cover:What offshore wind engineers actually doHow wind turbines have evolved from 2 MW to 15 MWLife, safety training, and work on offshore service vesselsThe physical reality of climbing and working inside turbinesChoosing sustainability and renewable energy as a career pathBeing the only woman in the room — and staying anywayMotherhood, identity, and not compromising your careerHow (and why) to ask for a raiseLeading by example for the next generation of girls in STEMMusic by Kay PaulusSupport the show

Hey babes. This episode is a cozy, powerful solo chat about what it actually means to be a free mom—and how to start creating that freedom now, not someday.If you've been feeling stretched thin, stuck, overwhelmed, resentful, or like your life looks “fine” on the outside but feels tight and exhausting on the inside… this one is for you. We're redefining freedom in a way that has nothing to do with bigger houses, better vacations, or external achievements—and everything to do with alignment, self-trust, and owning your time, energy, and emotions.In this episode, we slow way down and talk about how to reflect on 2025 without shame, how to stop repeating the same patterns in 2026, and how to choose ONE area of your life to truly free yourself.Here's what we cover:What being a “free mom” actually means (and what it doesn't)Why freedom is available to you right now—not after you lose weight or fix your lifeThe belief you must adopt before real change can happenWhy guilt is part of the process (and why that's normal)How to audit 2025 without beating yourself upWhere you feel the most trapped: body, time, money, marriage, parenting, or careerHow to choose ONE area to focus on in 2026 (and why that's the fastest path to change)Why your biggest problems should show up on your calendar and in your investmentsHow to stop abandoning yourself and start honoring your needsThe reflection questions that prevent you from repeating the same year again✨ FREE for podcast listeners ✨We're hosting a FREE 5-day challenge:Drop 5 Pounds While Life Is LifingJanuary 5–9Sign up here:lauraconley.com/drop5If you already know you want deeper support, email me directly:laura@lauraconley.com2026 doesn't need to be another year of white-knuckling, pretending, or putting yourself last.

Send us a textPioneering airline pilot Lynn Rippelmeyer reflects on her extraordinary journey from being hired as a TWA stewardess in the early 1970s to becoming one of the first women to fly the Boeing 747, and later retiring from United Airlines after a career shaped both by deregulation, mergers, and furloughs, and by generosity, unexpected opportunities, and adventure.We talk about her two-part memoir, beginning with Life Takes Wings, which traces her path from the cabin to the flight deck at a time when women were told — explicitly — that they didn't belong there. Lynn shares unforgettable stories from the cockpit, including a laugh-out-loud reading involving a seeing-eye dog, Florida mud, and an entire airport watching it unfold. In Life Takes Flight, the adventures continue as she pursues her flying career, takes a break to raise a family, and then returns to flying as a single mom. This episode also explores:The transition from “stewardess” to “flight attendant” and what that shift meant culturallyBeing told women couldn't fly “the heavies” — and proving otherwiseThe mentors (and gatekeepers) who shaped her careerHow discovering the WASP later in life reframed everything she'd been toldWhy writing her story became a responsibility, not just a creative actHow her flying career ultimately led to humanitarian work in Honduras and the founding of a nonprofitLynn's story sits at the intersection of aviation, feminism, labor history, and storytelling — and it's one every aspiring aviator (and writer) should hear.Buy the books directly from Lynn to support her non-profit Roatan Support Effort. https://lynnrippelmeyer.com/purchase-nowDid you know you can support your local independent bookshop and me by shopping through my Bookshop.org affiliate links on my website?

As 2025 wraps up, we're sharing the end-of-year reflection process we use with clients: reflect, connect, commit.

Every designer chases originality like it's the holy grail. But here's the uncomfortable truth: originality doesn't exist. Nothing you've designed is original, and believing otherwise is killing creativity faster than bad clients ever could.Graphic designers hate to hear this, but most of you are guilty. You worship originality, terrified that influence makes your work invalid. The few designers who thrive know the opposite is true: influence fuels design, while chasing “original” ideas traps you in imposter syndrome and mediocrity.This week on The Angry Designer Podcast, we tear apart the myth of originality in graphic design, exposing why it's nothing more than ego disguised as creativity and how this mindset is holding you back.In this episode, you'll learn:Why chasing originality is a design trap that kills your careerHow influence and remixing create better graphic design than “original ideas” ever willThe truth about imposter syndrome and why fearing influence makes you a weaker designerThis isn't just about originality. It's about your career. Because if you keep clinging to the myth of originality, you'll burn out, stay stuck, and watch other designers pass you by with work that's influenced, effective, and unmistakably theirs.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Episode SummaryJulie Ryder is a UK-based inclusion consultant and founder of an award-winning training business that helps organisations better support deaf employees and customers. In this episode, Julie shares her deeply personal journey of becoming profoundly deaf in her twenties, losing the career she had worked so hard for, and building a new path with purpose. From lip-reading lessons to launching a national consultancy, Julie's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and using lived experience to create change.Key Takeaways:What it feels like to acquire hearing loss mid-careerHow to rebuild identity and confidence after becoming profoundly deafWhy inclusion and accessibility are essential workplace toolsHow Julie launched a national consultancy with just one flyer and a kitchen shelfThe three ingredients that help anyone move forward after a major life shiftMeet Julie RyderJulie Ryder is the founder of a UK-based workplace training consultancy that specialises in deaf awareness and inclusive communication. After becoming profoundly deaf as a young adult, she transitioned out of her career in banking and built one of the UK's most respected deaf awareness training businesses. Julie has trained thousands of professionals across sectors, with clients including the BBC, Royal Mail, and the Houses of Parliament.Meet JulieHow She PivotedJulie Ryder began her career in banking with a clear plan for advancement. But when she became profoundly deaf in her twenties, her world shifted completely. Over several years, her hearing declined so dramatically that even basic communication at work became a challenge. She was moved to lower-level roles, sent farther from home, and eventually left the field altogether, grieving the career and identity she had worked so hard to build.“What was left then was the shell of me, just starting out with a new identity as a newly-deafened person,” shared Julie Ryder on episode 29 of the Rhonda Coleman Wandel podcast.Her turning point came when she volunteered to deliver a deaf awareness training session during a rehabilitation program. That small act sparked something bigger. With a single flyer and a borrowed computer on a kitchen shelf, Julie began offering training in her community. Two decades later, her consultancy is one of the most respected in the UK.Insights for Ambitious WomenJulie's journey is a powerful reminder that we are allowed to begin again—and that adapting to a major life change does not mean giving up ambition. She speaks with honesty about grief, mental health, and the long road to confidence. Her work shows how lived experience can be a source of credibility and impact.“If you've got personal commitment, support, and the opportunity, you can thrive,” encouraged Julie Ryder on the RCW podcastJulie also reflects on how her deafness influenced her parenting, making her more intentional, communicative, and open with her children. Her message is clear: when life shifts direction, you're allowed to shift with it and you can still build something extraordinary.Want More Like This?Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on your favourite platform so you never miss an episode.

Sometimes you need a little extra money, but what you don't need is another boss, a second shift, or a business plan you'll never finish. In this episode, we're walking through some of the most overlooked ways to earn extra income. Everything from plasma donation, junk hauling, voiceovers, waiting in line, and a few others I can't put in the description without attracting a bunch of bots. We're challenging the idea that income only comes from jobs. We talk about the emotional (and sometimes physical) tradeoffs, how to spot seasonal bonuses and low-competition opportunities, and why the best side hustles don't always look like work.These are the kind of gigs that don't require a résumé or a 5-year commitment, just a willingness to try something different. Whether you're saving for a trip, refilling your emergency fund, or just need to solve a $500 problem fast, there's something in here for you.In this episode, we cover:Why so many people default to getting another job and what to try insteadThe emotional cost of “just one more shift” when you're already stretched thinHow overlooked, seasonal, or location-based gigs can fill a short-term income gapThe surprising ways people are using their bodies, tools, and free time to get paidWhat makes a side hustle worth doing without turning into a second careerHow to think creatively about short bursts of work that solve real-life money problems Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.
